According to reports, Wal-Mart is selling the T-Mobile G1 for $148.88 with a two-year contract in a number of its stores. The normal price of the G1 is $179.

Somehow Wal-Mart is cutting approximately $30 off. I’m not sure what kind of deal they inked with T-Mobile but it had to be a sweet one since this is a serious phone for T-Mobile. Then again, Wal-Mart has an incredible footprint and selling a phone for $30 less means it’s going to attract a lot of new customers.

We reviewed the G1 last week and it’s definitely a compelling phone. Even though $30 isn’t that big a difference, it’s certainly enough to make me think twice about getting one, since I need a T-Mobile 3G SIM for testing anyway–ahh the justification begins.
